He nodded, “ I brought it .
You’ll get it soon .
But Sienna .

Flynn ? ”
“ Enough , ” Sienna said sharply , cunting him off again .
Her tone remained calm , but there was a hint of irritation in her eyes,

The man looked conflicted , his expression a mix of guilt and hesitation .
“ Why can’t I ask ? Sienna , I care about you .

Flynn – did he treat you badly ? Is that why you suddenly need so much money ? ”
“ Care ! Sienna couldn’t hold back and laughed mockingly .

“ Open the doorf a gruff voice demanded .
“ Hurry up and open the door ! ” another voice harked .
“ Police ! Open the door immediately ! Do you hear me ? ” the final shout came with unmistakable authority .
Sienna froze .
“ What’s going on Why are the police here ? She cast a quick glance at the man across from her .
His face turned pale as panic set in “ Damn if ” The man muttered under his breath as he shot to his feet .
Everyone knew that when the police showed up , even minor issues could morph into major ones .
Even if they’d done nothing wrong , they’d be dragged to the police station for questioning
The man thought , ‘ But the visit today couldn’t be known – not to anyone , especially not to my family

flame .
The intensity of his anger stunned her .
